what we do know is this, that the fiscal cliff is looming. the house has taken action over the past several months that would address this. you know that washington does not have a revenue problem. it has a spending problem. what you have to do is get the spending side of this under control. there is a way to generate more revenue, and it is through reforming the tax code, cleaning it up, dealing with some of the loopholes. it is a dynamic way to approach the revenue quotient rather than a static which, which is just raising the rates and you're going to end up getting less revenue. so i think it's an opportunity to clean up this tax code. i would like to see the focus put on that. >> i would argue you guys have a fiscal cliff problem actually and maybe all of the above, clean up the tax code, raise some taxes for some people, cut some spending, like everybody in america has to deal with their own budget. >> we also have a ca and trade problem, soledad. >> cap and trade, we've got a lot to cover and 48 hours. >> if we do not clean this up we

what are your latest thoughts on the fiscal cliff clavin as we call it? >> well, i think we have a lot to learn from what i would call the fiscal spliff from washington state. legalization of marijuana adds to the state's coffers or costs the federal government an equal amount of money to police it from a distance, that's going to be the curious one. so far as the fiscal cliff the dumbest thing -- the republicans are in a situation where you know they're giving two pages of -- we want this. remember, we just -- they're torn out like perforated from the paul ryan plan. they bring them in. okay, tomorrow we'll come back with more. these are the same pages only they have -- is that bourbon on them? >> stephanie: bourbon and cheeto stains on them. >> the truth is -- i think charlie pierce touched on it before. the dumb thing is that they don't immediately go for the middle class tax cuts and let those go through. but they can't give any ground and that, i think proves that boehner can't deliver the votes necessary to get anything through. >> stephanie: right.
